Description of Private Investigations in West Virginia


West Virginia Private Investigator

Local West Virginia Private Investigator

Private Investigators in West Virginia are required to be licensed in order to conduct Private Investigation services. If your investigation requires the case to move out of state, the private investigator must still abide by any out of state licensing requirements.

West Virginia Private Investigator

A private investigator in West Virginia must apply to the West Virginia Secretary of State and pass licensing requirements, including a thorough background check. While many West Virginia private investigators come from a law enforcement or military background, it is not a requirement for employment as a private investigator. Often times a degree in Criminal Justice or other security and investigation work can be just as important to prospective employers.

In the State of West Virginia, it is against the law to provide the services of a private investigator without a West Virginia Private Investigator License. You can rest assured that any West Virginia private investigator assigned to your case with ICS is an authorized sub-contractor fully licensed and insured in accordance with West Virginia State Laws and participates in the required continuing education.

Private Investigator in West Virginia

ICS provides a full range of investigations for the State of West Virginia, and has authorized sub-contractors in every major metropolitan region. Whether your case involves fraud, adultery, missing persons, child custody, extramarital affairs or infidelity, asset searches, surveillance, background checks or any of our other services, ICS has the resources and expertise to find the answers you need.

Our private investigators can perform bug sweeps at your home or office and digital forensics on your computers, laptops and smart phones, including the iPhone.

West Virginia Background Check

Do you need a background check performed on an individual in the State of West Virginia? Are you in West Virginia and need a background check performed elsewhere? ICS can provide this service and many others. Background checks are one of the most well known and useful investigation tools a private investigator can provide. Sometimes a background check is all a client needs and other times it is merely the first step into a more in-depth investigation, providing clues and leads for the investigator and client to pursue. If you need a West Virginia background check or an investigation involving one, the professionals at ICS are ready to work for you to provide the discreet and confidential service you need. ICS has been helping people in West Virginia just like you get results since 1967.
